Chennai: Ahead of the 2022 IPL season, CSK have made a big change to their leadership.
“MS Dhoni has decided to hand over the leadership of Chennai Super Kings and picked Ravindra Jadeja to lead the team. Jadeja, who has been an integral part of Chennai Super Kings since 2012, will only be the third player to lead CSK. Dhoni will continue to represent Chennai Super Kings this season and beyond,” read a statement from CSK.
Dhoni led CSK from first edition and helped them win many titles.
When there were doubt over his continuation in the team, he said that he will continue to play in IPL 15.
Dhoni, who had been the CSK captain since the league’s inception in 2008, could be playing in his last IPL this season. He has already retired from international cricket.
Defending champions CSK will open their campaign against last edition’s runner-up side Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday.
